Widethroat W Range

The Widethroat W Range has been designed to handle highly viscous materials, such as sludges, slurries, thick non-flowing pastes and de-watered sludge cake with viscosities up to 1,000,000cP.

The standard design consists of an enlarged rectangular inlet with a screw conveyor to assist the product into the pumping element. Options are available to modify the inlet with either large diameter augers, integral bridge breakers or both.

Features & Benefits

Provides a process efficient method of handling sludges with high solids content

Different design configurations to suit the application, dry solids approaching 40% can be handled when fitted with integral bridge breakers or large augers

Facilitates ease of maintenance through the simple design and use of a plug in shaft

Designed to run at relatively slow speeds to minimise damage to shear sensitive products

Pumps are available as monobloc or bareshaft

Can be supplied with a Muncher, horizontally mounted onto the hopper, to assist solids reduction prior to pumping
